Deep Purple Traditional Cache

This cache is located just off the bike trail in Aberdeen, SD.

I pointed out a city park where you can park all day. There is a church parking lot near this cache. A terrain rating of two has been given to this cache because it is along the bike trail, which is meant to be walked/jogged/biked. No need to stray far from the trail to find the cache. Please make sure you leave the cache as found. And enjoy the trail.

The second most popular version of "Deep Purple", which hit number one on the US pop charts (the 100th song to do so) in November 1963, was recorded by Nino Tempo & April Stevens (who are brother and sister). It remained in the Top 40 for twelve weeks and was #1 on the Hot 100. This version of the song is notable for April Stevens' speaking the lyrics in a low and sweet voice during the second half of the song while her brother sings. According to the Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson, when the duo first recorded the song as a demo, Tempo forgot the words, and Stevens spoke the lyrics to the song to remind him. The record's producers thought Stevens' spoken interludes were "cute" and should be included on the finished product, but according to Stevens, her brother was not as easily convinced: "He didn't want anyone talking while he was singing!".

Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
